Sleepy :(

I am so sleepy. Didn't get a good sleep yesterday night, our second first night at our home, and Other Half had lots of work to do. Slept beside him while he was doing work but couldn't really sleep anyway. He couldn't either. Maybe we're not used to the house yet, just like we weren't used to it the first first night! Haha :) Will be back there on Wednesday! Cos Other Half isn't around and I am not allowed to stay alone. And I've got to start cooking. This morning I woke up super early, eager to make breakfast for Other Half but failed. How can I fail making french toast?!?! Put too much salt in it. Bleah. Oh well. Shall try again. I think Thursday morning I shall make jemput-jemput pisang! Haha. I'm getting rusty with cooking. Need to practise more! And get the kitchen and house fully equipped too.

Other Half isn't in Singapore for three days sobsob :( But the good news is! I think the Egypt trip is cancelled! YAHOOOO!!! Or maybe I shouldn't celebrate yet until there's official word that it's cancelled. Aiyah just cancel it can! We have an important meet on the 10 Feb! I'm sure you won't want to miss it rite??? Hehe :)

It's been raining a lot these past few days. Raining non-stop too through day and night. I don't think I've ever experienced such weather. I hope it's not raining where Other Half is gonna have his team building activities. And I hope Wednesday comes very very soon! Cos I miss him already :(

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Stir Fried Udon

My baby loves this! Recipe adapted from here . 1 onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 packets udon noodles 1 carrot, julienned  250g mushrooms 2 chicken fillet, sliced 2 stalks spring onions 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp sushi vinegar (replacement for mirin) 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp artificial vinegar Recipe doesn't call for onion and garlic but those are pretty much base ingredients for stir fries so might as well. Made this for quick lunch for the kids since they were home alone. 

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
